By Ashley Nash The South and Northeast are home to a significant number of HBCUs. Still, Ohio houses Wilberforce, an HBCU that was erected in 1856 and 1951. The midwestern university offers teacher training and classical education. Once one university, the second school broke off and became its own official school in 1965.
